yea can probably just run a query & then do some simple sanitization on it. it'd probably be a bit skewed because of quoting etc. if it was my own code that wouldn't be a problem, but it's still this open source stuff :<
will try to get that for u today or tmw.
pc!

i'm starting to see the same people at the gym when i go, which makes sense given that i go roughly around the same time for each workout. a bunch of the people who hang out around and work out on the platforms are members of the UCL barbell club, who are clearly friends or at least friendly with each other. lots of banter, lots of filming each other and talking about lifting technique and that sort of thing. and they're not all men! it's nice. i mention it because there's a short little guy, broad-shouldered but not super thick or ripped, who's there every time i am, and who is the number one banterer. in fact in the weeks i've been going to the gym i'd never seen him touch a weight, just walk around and greet people in his tights and dead lifting shoes and A7 barbell grip shirt. i started to think it was a bit odd. like he was just performing being a gym rat without actually working out. do you even lift bro?
then yesterday i watched him DL 200 kg for a set of five and was like, oh, okay. right. do not judge a book by a tiny snapshot of its behavior.

what do you do to keep sane on the stairmaster? running on the treadmill makes me want to stab myself after about 20 minutes. i'm okay again after 40 minutes but that 20-minute stretch in between is crazy-making.

« on: February 13, 2020, 05:00:25 pm »Garmin guys, do you also have that "Body battery" measurement thing? Is it any trustworthy? I only have my watch for 1 week, in the beginning that body battery worked as expected, going down in the day and going up at nights, but the last days it is stuck to 10% and it wont go up. Also, what about sleep quality? Watch says i sleep shit, although i do get almost 8 hours daily. Deep sleep is too low and im also "under pressure" the whole time so im not resting well. Arte those any trustworthy or should i ignore them ( or at least take them with a -good- pinch of salt? ).
i don't have any of that stuff but i'd trust your subjective sleep experience over the device 100%. same goes for using the watch as a "coach." like it's useful to have HR data but RPE is probably more helpful. if something feels like the right pace for a 50-60 minute run, so you're tired at the end but not exhausted and could do it again tomorrow, then that's more important than having your HR in some externally-determined range. IMHO.
